About the Calapan – Batangas crossing
25 sailings a day leave Calapan for Batangas, making this one of the busiest vehicle corridors in the Philippines. FastCat's own six departures run at 00:00, 04:00, 10:00, 12:00, 16:00 and 21:00, each taking two hours.
Mindoro's road to Manila
There is no bridge to Mindoro. Everything the island sends north — produce, livestock, construction material, people going to the capital — crosses this strait, and Batangas Port is the gateway to the Luzon expressway network. That is why departures run through the night: the 00:00 and 04:00 are freight timings, not conveniences.
Four companies, different ships
Montenegro Shipping Lines carries the largest share of listed departures, with FastCat, OceanJet and SuperCat alongside. They are not the same product: FastCat runs catamaran roll-on/roll-off ships that take vehicles aboard under their own power, while the fast-craft operators are passenger-only and quicker for it.
What it costs to bring something with you
Passenger fares start at ₱686 economy, with students 20% off and under-fours free. Vehicles are priced individually: ₱419 for a bicycle, ₱1,678 for a motorcycle, ₱3,357 for a car, ₱10,068 for a bus.
Practical
The Calapan terminal is at Calapan Pier, San Antonio, and answers directly on 0951-870-2885.
